Definitions
- the present invention relates to an apparatus for the in-vivo non-invasive measurement of a biological para ⁇ meter concerning a bodily fluid of a person or animal, wherein the apparatus is provided with at least two pairs of electrodes to be placed on the skin of a part of the body, a pair of input electrodes for feeding a measuring alternating current to the part of the body and a measuring pair of electrodes for measuring the voltage at the electrodes of the measuring pair of electrodes, comprising a current source providing the measuring alternating current, a converter for the transformation of the measuring voltage into a bio-impedance signal, being a measure of the bio-impedance of the part of the body, and means for the generation of signals which form a measure for further variables with the aid of which said parameter can be determined using the calculating model, said sig ⁇ nals encompassing a signal forming a measure for the time derivative of the bio-impedance signal.
- Such an apparatus is known from the international patent application WO-A-90/00367.
- This known apparatus is used to determine a number of biological parameters of the thorax of a patient by means of a bio-impedance measure ⁇ ment.
- the measurement is rather inaccurate because the fluid distribution in the patient is not taken into account.
- the known apparatus there is also a local bio-impedance measurement; this is used for the determination of an average arterial pressure.
- the apparatus of the invention is char ⁇ acterized in that the current source has a minimal radi ⁇ ation configuration and is suitable for generating a measuring current having a constant amplitude on at least two frequencies, a low frequency and a high frequency, in a frequency range of up to about 2000 kHz.
- This provides independent measurements and reduces interfering effects caused by electromagnetic radiation at high frequencies.
- the biological parameters that can be determined by means of the apparatus according to the invention include preferably the measuring of a circulatory parameter and more preferably the stroke volume of a heart.
- cardiac output which is derived form the stroke volume and the heart rhythm
- cardiac index the left ventricle ejection time
- the right ventricle ejection time the preejection period
- the Heather index the acceleration index
- venous occlusion plethystnography a biological parameter that may be determined by means of the apparatus.
- Other biological parameters that may be determined by means of the apparatus are, for instance, the distribution between extracellular and intracellular bodily fluids and the distribution of fluid during a septic shock. It is observed, that the application of several frequencies for the determination of a biological parameter is known as such.
- the apparatus comprises means for sending a constant, high frequency current through the thorax of a person to be examined, as well as means for measuring a consequentially induced voltage over the thorax, from which signal the impedance of the particular thorax is derived. From this impedance the time derivative is determined, and a limited time portion of this time derivative subsequently serves as a measure for the stroke volume of the heart in the thorax.
- p is the specific resistance of the blood
- L is the distance at which the electrodes are placed for measuring the voltage
- Z 0 is the average thorax resistance
- VET is the ventricular ejection time.
- the current source provides a current having a frequency of about 100 kHz.
- V EPT dZ sv .
- V EPT is the volume of the thorax participating in the electric conduction. This volume depends on the height and weight of the particular person.
- a time frequency diagram is determined for the measured time derivative of the bio ⁇ impedance signal.
- the stroke volume of the heart is then derived from this frequency diagram, while the stroke vol ⁇ ume is assumed to be dependent on the time lapse between the first frequency signal in this distribution and the point in time when the time derivative of the bio ⁇ impedance signal reaches the maximum value.
- a current source in a minimum radiation configura ⁇ tion in said frequency range up to about 2000 kHz is advantageously realized by giving it an electrically sym ⁇ metrical configuration thus providing it with a galvanic separation in relation to the instrument earth.
- the low frequency x is in the region of about 1-64 kHz and the high frequency f h in the region of about 32- 2000 kHz, such that in all cases f ⁇ is smaller than / h .
- the difference in sensitivity is optimal for both situations.
- the rela- tively low frequency currents are transmitted mainly through the extracellular fluid, while the high frequency currents are also transmitted through the intracellular fluid.
- Fluid distribution may, for instance, be analyzed by means of the so-called Cole-Cole-model, which is based on a Nyquist analysis of a simple equivalent-circuit diagram of the thorax, based on a parallel circuit of a purely resistive component for the relatively low frequencies and for the high frequencies a series connection of a resistive and a capacitive component. Consequently, by applying the known formulas for the determination of the stroke volume and other biological parameters, different frequencies provide independent measurements for those parameters . These measurements provide information about the above-mentioned correction factor ⁇ . With the aid of the measured impedance Z 0 , or through determination of the measured phase angle, ⁇ , the ratio intracellular and extracellular fluid can be determined at different frequencies.
- the current source is suitable for simultaneous generation of the two frequencies. This has the advantage that the time the patient has to be connected to the apparatus for measurement is shortened.
- a preferred embodiment of the apparatus according to the invention is characterized in that said apparatus comprises four pairs of electrodes, two pairs of electrodes being intended for taking a transversal bio ⁇ impedance measurement and two pairs of electrodes being intended for taking a local bio-impedance measurement.
- the local bio-impedance measurement is to be carried out at a location removed from the heart .
- transversal measuring used above, indi ⁇ cates a measurement in which the current runs substan- tially lengthways of the person to be examined.
- the measure discussed just now allows a further correction to be carried out on the resulting measurements, due to the different test results of the cardiovascular system at a relatively low and a relatively high frequency.
- a measurement check is thus obtained in which the interfering influence of the cardiovascular system is eliminated. In this way the local measurement produces a correction signal to compensate the transversal measurement.
- the apparatus is preferably provided with connecting means for connecting the current source and the transformer in series, in order to sequentially carry out the local bio-impedance measurement and the transversal bio-impedance measurement. This limits the number of components comprising the apparatus, and by always employing the same system parts an optimally reproducible measurement is obtained.
- the apparatus according to the invention is characterized in that said apparatus comprises a current source or current sources suitable for the simultaneous generation of signals at two low frequencies and two high frequencies, so as to limit the inconvenience for a patient to be examined. These frequencies all range from about 4 to 2000 kHz, with a first low frequency and a first high frequency being coupled to a first two pairs of electrodes to carry out the local bio-impedance measurement and the second low frequency and the second high frequency being coupled to the second two pairs of electrodes to carry out the transversal bio-impedance measurement. In this way both measurements can be carried out simultaneously.
- the measurement ampli- bomb or measurement amplifiers are configured electrically symmetrical and are provided with a galvanic separation in relation to the instrument earth. This increases the resistance to common mode interference signals.
- the input stage of the apparatus is inductively coupled, thereby reducing transmission of the interference signal residue.

- Fig. 6 shows an embodiment of the converters employed in the apparatus according to the invention.
- Fig la shows a block diagram of an embodiment of the apparatus for carrying out simultaneous measurements on a patient 1.
- current supply electrodes 2 and 3 current from a current source 7 is supplied to a patient 1.
- the voltage resulting from current passing through the tissue of the test person 1 is measured by means of a pair of electrodes 4 and 5 which are connected with a differential amplifier 6.
- the electrodes 4 and 5 serve for the transversal measurement .
- Current input electrodes 8 and 9 are locally placed on the patient 1 and are connected with current source 12.
- the resulting voltage over the tissue between said electrodes is measured by means of the electrodes 10 and 11 which are connected with differential amplifier 13.
- the electrodes 10 and 11 serve for the local measurement.
- the output of the differential amplifier 6 is fed into a calculating element 14 providing an electric bio ⁇ impedance signal Z- ⁇ t) which is directly related to the bio-impedance of the thorax of the patient 1 as a function of the time and a phase signal ⁇ . which is directly related to the phase difference between the current supplied by means of a current source 7 and the voltage measured by electrodes 4 and 5.
- the output of the differen ⁇ tial amplifier 13 is supplied to the calculating element 15 which provides an electric bio-impedance signal Z 2 (t) which is directly related to the bio-impedance of a locally measured part of the body as a function of the time and a phase signal ⁇ 2 which is directly related to the phase difference between the current supplied into said part of the body and the resulting voltage over that part of the body as measured by means of the electrodes 10 and 11.
- the electric bio-impedance signal Z x (t) and the phase signal ⁇ . are fed into a processor 17 in order to determine a parameter to be identified below.
- the frequency and possibly the amplitude of the current source 7 are preferably controlled by the processor 17.
- the electrocardio ⁇ gram (ECG) obtained at the output side of the differential amplifier 6 or from a separate ECG amplifier (not shown) , is fed into the processor 17.
- the signals Z 2 (t) and ⁇ 2 are fed into the processor 16 for the determination of the fluid distribution in the locally measured part of the body.
- the resulting parameters are then fed into the processor 17 for the determination of correction factors in the operations carried out by processor 17.
- the above- mentioned ECG also serves for the improvement of accuracy.
- the output of processor 17 showing the desired parameters, is connected to indicator 18 for display and registration purposes.
- Fig. lb shows the circuit suitable for sequential measurement on the patient 1.
- the functions of blocks 6, 7, 14, 17 and 18 have already been elucidated.
- the switch 19 is controlled by the processor 17 for carrying out sequential measuring on the thorax bio-impedance and measuring the local bio-impedance of a part of the body of patient 1.
- Fig. lb shows clearly that in a first situation the current source 7 is connected with the electrodes 2 and 3 , while the differential amplifier 6 is at the same time connected with the electrodes 4 and 5 by which measuring of the thorax bio-impedance can then take place. In the other situation said current source is connected with the electrodes 8 and 9, while said differential amplifier 6 is connected with the electrodes 10 and 11 so that local measuring of the bio-impedance of the part of the body of the patient 1 can take place.
- Fig. 2 shows a typical progress of a bio-impedance signal ⁇ Z, as measured with the differential amplifier 6 baseed on an excitation by current source 7.
- the progress of this signal is time-dependant in particular because of the pumping activity of the heart of the test person 1.
- the time derivative of the signal ⁇ Z, dZ/dt is shown one row higher in Fig. 2. According to the prior art, when determining the stroke volume of the heart, this is approximated by multiplying the minimum value of the time derivative (dZ/dt) m ⁇ n by a time interval which is determined by the characteristic waveforms in the signal dZ/dt.
- this time interval is indicated as (left) ventricular ejection time (abbreviated (L)VET) , and is dependent on a point in time at the beginning of a curve indicated by B and a point in time determined by the next maximum in the time derivative indicated by C.
- L ventricular ejection time
- C electrocardiogram
- measuring errors ensuing due to over- or underweight of the test person 1 or due to measurements carried out under conditions where the normal moisture balance of the test person is upset, for instance with oedema formation are prevented due to the fact that the current source 7 can generate an elec ⁇ tric current having at least two frequencies.
- the current source 7 can generate a current having frequencies in the range of about 4 kHz to about 2000 kHz; if desired, the current source 7 can simultaneously generate currents having different frequencies.
- the frequency- dependent measuring results for a particular thorax transfer model may be transformed into a current distribution factor which is dependent on the geometry of the test person 1.
- the moisture distribution according to the Cole-Cole-model may be used by means of which a current ratio between the intracellular fluid and the extracellular fluid can be determined. This current ratio corresponds to the current distribution over the cardiovascular system and the rest of the thorax.
- the current source 7 is suitable for the generation of a electric current having a frequency sweep of about 4 kHz to 2000 kHz, while the calculation element 14 is also suitable for the determination of the maximum phase angle dependent on the frequency.
- the moisture distribution can be determined with the aid of a Bode analysis of the transfer model of the thorax by determining the maximum phase angle and possibly the frequency at which this occurs . Normally the maximum phase angle is about 9 to 10° at a frequency of 70 kHz.
- a local impedance measurement can be carried out by means of the electrode pairs 8, 9 and 10, 11. The measurement results becoming available through the measuring amplifier 13, together with data from the current source 12 are fed into a calculation element 15, and from these a local impedance value and the phase angle between the current from the source 12 and the voltage from the differential amplifier 13 are determined.
- the measuring data thus derived are further processed in a processor 16 in order to determine the current distribution over the cardiovascular system and the rest of the thorax.
- This measuring signal suffering no interference from the heart's pumping action is subsequently also fed into the processor 17 to compensate the measuring data obtained form the transversal measurement.
- the measuring data thus corrected may then be made available for reading via an indicator 18. If necessary, special operations may be carried out by feeding the ECG signal to the processors 16, 17.

- the transformer 215 comprises two analogous second- ary windings connected with each other in such a way that a current i can be measured by means of determining the voltage over a precision resistor 27.
- the live cables 25 and 26 are protected in order to reduce the electromagnetic field generated by this cable. However, this protection could cause a problem, because with the increased frequency an increased current resulting from the capacity of these cables, plays a role.
- the wideband amplifier 216 measures the voltage produced at the spot of said precision resistor 27, which data is fed into processor 29 in order to be compared with an amplitude control signal coming, for instance, from processor 17 or from a reference present in the processor 29.
